Sheet Pan Chicken With Turmeric

What is the easiest way to prepare a quick and healthy dinner for those busy Fall nights?

Sheet pan dinner. Seriously, it’s so easy! People always ask me for quick and healthy dinner ideas and this is a huge hit with my family. The chicken gets crispy on the outside and the potatoes, carrots and onions bath in a pale yellow sauce thanks to the turmeric. After the usual dinner questions like…

Why is this so yellow?

What did you put on the chicken?

What is this green stuff?

The peeps ate it. Huge win.

This is the simplest answer to what’s for dinner. It is prepared with ingredients that can easily be found in your fridge and pantry. Meat and veggies plus spice = family favorite weeknight wonder. It has numerous varieties and substitutions that can take it all the way through the week.

Can you imagine only five ingredients turning into this yumminess? Here’s what I used…

chicken thighs

potatoes

onions

carrots

turmeric

What could be easier?

Take out, yes but let’s try to do better than that.

Turmeric is enjoying its time in the limelight. It’s popular because of it’s anti-inflammatory qualities and can be seen in turmeric smoothies and turmeric tea. Or if you would prefer try a turmeric shot. Bottoms up!
